The outer edge of the nail is often called "smile". To draw a smile in several ways. Mark white gel pen line, which will serve as a boundary for the application of white lacquer. If possible, use a special professional brush for applying nail Polish (thin or beveled area). If this is not possible, draw the area normal brush from the bottle. Gently draw a line along the intended contour from one edge of the nail to the other. Fill the remaining free region of the outer edge.
